There are some great events coming up in Okinawa!

Like so many other Okinawans, I love hamburgers. When I was young, I could eat one every day.

U.S. Army Garrison Okinawa kicked off its Army Emergency Relief campaign with a 5K Color Run on March 15, despite rainy conditions.

If you go to Gate 2 Street near Kadena AB regularly, Tesio may already be on your radar.This shop dedicated to specialty German-style sausages, has garnered much media attention since it opened in 2017.

Last year I visited Kissa Gitano, an eatery in the Sunabe Seawall known for their tasty Cuban sandwiches, a go-to when I lived in South Florida almost 10 years ago.

As you get ready to wear green for St. Patrick’s Day on March 17, eating lots of corned beef and cabbage or having a proper pint of Guinness may be on your mind.

Here are the spring events to look forward to on Okinawa.

High school graduation is a special time, and Stars and Stripes is pleased to once again be putting together our annual Grad Tab, highlighting information on all of the Pacific DoDEA high schools and their graduating classes.

Hey, all you kids in the military community need to read this. Seriously! So, please put down your iPad, iPhone or other digital device for the next couple of minutes. You’ll survive, and I promise no one will take them.

With the temperature warming in Okinawa, visits to Mt. Yae or Nakijin castle ruins might be a top priority for catching the spring favorite, cherry blossoms.
